This is the mainland counterpart to the closely related M. caeruleus . Mating by M. avibus with M. caeruleus can result in viable hybrids. In the laboratory one male hybrid mated with a female M. caeruleus that laid eggs, resulting in several juvenile offspring. However two hybrid females that mated with hybrid males failed to produce any eggs.
